mySAP ERP For Dummies

SAP is the world's leading provider of ERP software and
services, with worldwide revenue in 2004 of $9.7 billion and a 57
percent market share among major business application providers; it
is one of the world's largest software companies overall

ERP is a flexible, open technology platform that helps
businesses run more efficiently (and profitably) by providing
integrated management of key operations and supply chains

Written for IT professionals who find it hard to get through
SAP's complex documentation, our book demonstrates how ERP can cut
costs, provides a clear overview of how the ESA (enterprise service
architecture) model affects ERP, and shows how to implement the new
ERP in the real world

Topics covered include reducing the cost of an existing IT
backbone, using the new ERP to address a company's "pain points"
and challenges, and proving the value of ERP through ROI (return on
investment) and TCO (total cost of ownership) studies
